The Best Whole Chicken in a Crock Pot

I made this yesterday w Mashed Potatoes & Spinach as my sides. I left it in for 5 hours but next time i make this ill be taking it out closer to 4 1/2 hours & also use a little more of each spice. & instead of cayenne pepper i used crushed red pepper.

INGREDIENTS

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon thyme

Â½ teaspoon garlic powder

Â¼ teaspoon cayenne (red) pepper

Â¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 onion

1 large chicken

DIRECTIONS

Combine the dried spices in a small bowl.

Loosely chop the onion and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.

Remove any giblets from the chicken and then rub the spice mixture all over. You can even put some of the spices inside the cavity and under the skin covering the breasts.

Put prepared chicken on top of the onions in the slow cooker, cover it, and turn it on to high. There is no need to add any liquid.
